Bucks battle Bobcats in Charlotte

Basketball Betting Lines

11/22/2008 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Bucks embark on a four-game road trip Saturday when they meet the Charlotte Bobcats at Time Warner Cable Arena.

Charlie Villanueva, who had missed the previous four games with a strained left hamstring, scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds Friday to lead the Bucks in a 104-87 victory over the short-handed New York Knicks.

The Knicks were without a number of players after making a couple of big trades on Friday, including a deal that sent guard Jamal Crawford to the Golden State Warriors for forward Al Harrington. Later, the Knicks swapped forward Zach Randolph and guard Mardy Collins to the Los Angeles Clippers for guard Cuttino Mobley and forward Tim Thomas.

Andrew Bogut scored 14 points and hauled in 17 boards for the Bucks, who snapped a three-game skid. Ramon Sessions had 15 points and 10 helpers, while Richard Jefferson ended with 11 points for Milwaukee.

The Bucks will also visit Orlando, Atlanta and Detroit on the trek.

Milwaukee, which owns a 3-5 mark on the road, is still playing without star guard Michael Redd (ankle), who is listed as questionable for tonight's game.

The Bobcats dropped their third straight game Friday when Joe Johnson scored 30 points and doled out eight assists to lead the Hawks in an 88-83 victory over Charlotte in Atlanta.

Rookie D.J. Augustin had 26 points and seven assists for the Bobcats, who have lost five of six overall. Gerald Wallace had 17 points and 10 boards, while Emeka Okafor grabbed 11 rebounds.

Bobcats swingman Jason Richardson is still out after undergoing right knee surgery and is expected to miss Saturday's game.

The Bucks have won two straight games over Charlotte after losing their previous three meetings with the Bobcats.

MySportsbook.com week 1 NFL lines


Now that the 2008 NFL schedule is finally out, it is only matter-of-course for lines on “Week 1” to follow.  Of course MySportsbook.com is the first to churn out odds for the NFL’s inaugural week for the upcoming season.   Expect a lot of fireworks the first Thursday night of the season as the defending champion Indianapolis Colts face off against the surprise of the 2008 season, the New Orleans Saints.  These teams were ranked #1 and #3 in the NFL respectively a season ago so a high scoring affair could be in order.  As of now, the Colts will be giving 6 points to the Saints; keep in mind the Saints were one of the better road teams last season going 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS.  The first Monday night of the season will again provide a “double feature”. Coming off a disappointing season, the Cincinnati Bengals will look to get back to playoffs and improve their public image as they take on the AFC North favorite Baltimore Ravens.  The second game features a couple of teams that haven’t had too much success recently but each could make some noise if the NFC is as weak as it was last year as the San Francisco 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals. The most interesting game of the opening week will feature the NFC champion Bears as they hit the road to take on the NFL’s top team during last year’s regular season, the San Diego Chargers.
